A white perforated cinema ticket from “Leisure Services Arts & Entertainments” with a red theatre mask logo in the top left. Printed text reads “CINEMA 1” and “THE GRIFTERS.” The ticket shows the date Thursday 18 April 1991, time 20:30, and price £1.65. Additional text includes “ADMIT ONE” and “BOX OFFICE,” with a note stating tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded. The ticket is centred on a dark textured background, with “18.4.91” faintly overlaid beneath it.

Film poster for The Grifters featuring three vertical panels with close-up portraits of Anjelica Huston, John Cusack, and Annette Bening, all wearing sunglasses. The title appears in bold yellow text across the lower portion. At the top, the tagline reads: “Seduction. Betrayal. Murder. Who’s conning who?” The poster uses strong contrast with black background and warm-toned portraits, with credits and production details along the bottom.

Normally I’d rewatch the trailer as a refresher, but I distinctly remember loving this and now fully intend to watch it again. You should too, especially if you’ve never seen it.

A perforated paper cinema ticket from Odeon. Printed in blue and red with “ODEON” across the top and “Rank Theatres Limited” branding. The ticket reads “IPSWICH PRESENTS HIGHLANDER.” Date shown as Friday 12.4.91, time 03:40, price £3.50. Row and seat fields are present but not clearly filled. The ticket has circular punch holes along the left edge and sits on a dark textured background.

Film poster for Highlander 2: The Quickening. Two men stand back-to-back in front of a large vertical sword: one in red-toned clothing with arms folded, the other in black leather, also arms folded. Above them, a figure is suspended against the blade as lightning strikes around it. The background shows a futuristic city skyline with neon lighting, a hovering aircraft, and a red sports car in the foreground. At the top, cast names including Christopher Lambert, Virginia Madsen, Michael Ironside, and Sean Connery. The title “HIGHLANDER 2 THE QUICKENING” appears in bold white lettering at the bottom.

The ticket says Highlander but I'm pretty sure this would have been for Highlander II: The Quickening, which Is a shame because Highlander is brilliant, whilst Highlander II: The Quickening is widely regarded as one of the worst films ever made.

The woman has long curly hair and is laughing, her bare feet visible. To the right, text reads: “The story of two people who got married, met and then fell in love.” The title “GREEN CARD” appears in large green serif text at the bottom, with small production credits beneath.

Perforated holes run down the right edge.

A stylised illustrated poster for The Comfort of Strangers in warm gold and ochre tones. Three central figures—two women and a man—stand in elongated, Art Nouveau style poses, partially nude and intertwined. Venetian architecture fills the background, including a canal with reflections, gondolas, and domed buildings. The composition is decorative and painterly, with intricate patterns and soft blending of figures into the cityscape. The title appears at the bottom in a distinctive serif typeface, with cast names including Christopher Walken, Natasha Richardson, Rupert Everett, and Helen Mirren at the top.

Schrader, Pinter, Walken, Mirren, Richardson & Everett. Quite the line-up for a film I have no recollection of. Amazing poster though.

Another directorial debut, this time from National Treasure and classically trained luvvy Kenneth Branagh. Shakespeare has never really been my thing, so I’m fairly sure the battle scenes carried me through this one.

Becoming it.” The title “BLUE STEEL” appears in bold blue lettering, with “Jamie Lee Curtis” above and film credits along the bottom.

The title “ARACHNOPHOBIA” appears in large gold lettering across the middle.

Not content with producing some of the biggest films of all time, Frank Marshall thought he’d have a go at Directing too. Not a bad first effort this. Unless you’re scared of spiders, of course.

No recollection of this one, but Rosanna Arquette certainly seemed to be everywhere in the early ’90s. I was also surprised to discover it was directed by Mike Hodges — he of Get Carter and Flash Gordon fame.

The title “Cry-Baby” appears in blue and pink lettering near the bottom along with cast names including Johnny Depp, Amy Locane, Susan Tyrrell and Iggy Pop.
